FAYETTEVILLE -- By early Tuesday afternoon, folks had already begun to line up outside the City Administration Building in Fayetteville.

Many carried signs with messages of support or opposition to a proposed city ordinance that council members will put to vote in Tuesday night's meeting. The ordinance, Chapter 119, would amend Fayetteville Code to protect the Civil Rights of Fayetteville citizens and visitors and to create a Civil Rights Administrator position for the city.

Chapter 119, has been a hot button issue since its first reading in July as dozens came to each of the two readings to voice concern to city leaders. The language of the proposed ordinance aims to The "protect and safeguard the right and opportunity of all persons to be free from discrimination based on real or perceived race, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, marital status, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, disability and veteran status."

Matthew Petty, the councilman who proposed the amendment says it promotes "the public health and welfare of all persons who live or work in the City of Fayetteville and to ensure that all persons within the City have equal access to employment, housing, and public accommodations."
